As the sun begins to set on Flagstaff Gardens and the crowd begins to thin, I find a quiet spot away from the noise to sit down and have a chat with 27-year-old William, who had come to the picnic on his own. “I’ve been perched here most of the day, I’ve got some stuff going on and needed some time to think,” he explains. “It’s the best thing I could’ve done; I haven’t smoked anything today but I feel high just from seeing so many happy people in one place.”The sun is gone, and we both watch the crowd of people for a few moments before he adds, “I think this is honestly one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen. Today’s changed my perspective on so much — everyone is like one big family. It’s so simple. Legalise it.”
